Cacti & Succulents The Astrophytum with 4 ribs is a rare and visually striking variant of the typically star-shaped cactus from the Astrophytum genus. Most commonly seen with 5 to 8 ribs, the 4-ribbed form stands out for its symmetrical simplicity and geometric beauty.

This cactus features a globular to slightly columnar body, often dark green to greyish-green in color, and may be covered in fine white flecks or trichomes that give it a speckled, almost frosted appearance.

The 4 ribs are broad and rounded, with deep furrows in between, forming a cross-like profile when viewed from above. Spines are usually absent or very minimal, depending on the species or cultivar.

In summer, it may produce bright yellow, daisy-like flowers from the apex, sometimes with a reddish center. Due to its rarity, especially in cultivated or wild forms, the 4-ribbed Astrophytum is a prized specimen among collectors and enthusiasts, often propagated from seed or grafted to preserve its unique form. 

How To Care:

Light - Place flowering cacti in a south or west-facing window to provide the direct sunlight they require. On average, cacti need six to eight hours of full sunlight per day.

In winter, most flowering cacti need a rest period, called dormancy, to redirect energy from growth into bud production. Less sunlight is required during this time.

Soil - Cacti requires, well-draining potting mix. Perlite, pumice, thermocol can be added in the potting mix. Cacti requires very small amount of fertilizers.

Water - Cacti require water to bloom, even if they are drought tolerant. Water your cactus when the soil has completely dried out. Water thoroughly until the water runs out the pot’s drain holes.
